It took a lot of work at both JPL and HQ to make it happen this year.

For relevant, interested folks, please apply! I’m one of the science mentors. Feel free to ask questions!

What’s important is I *found* an email and data file from 2021 and the paper will be done this year!

What’s unimportant is the year this project started and how many institutions myself and a coauthor have been at during it!

It’s fine!!

“If I were human I believe my response would be, ‘go to hell’”

*gets skeptical look”

“If I were human” (shrugs)

Everyone has art in their office, even Kirk has an orca whale ink sketch

Lose an empire due to over-mining, throw in some Shakespeare and Sherlock Holmes, “Only Nixon could go to China”

Sometimes I rewatch movies and realize “oh thats why I’m that way”: Star Trek VI Undiscovered Country

NASA’s Artemis II plans to send a crew around the Moon to test equipment and lay the groundwork for a future landing Several robotic spacecraft orbiting the Moon can take detailed pictures of its surface, so why send people around the Moon? A planetary geologist explains the benefits.

Got to write up a short Artemis II explainer for @theconversation.com!

(It has been updated per the testing overnight resulting in a launch delay)

Except, you know, nothing is higher stakes than teaching.

This essay is probably already getting ratio’d, but I’d like to join by staring into the camera Office-style from the American Southwest: canals and big roads exist outside of Rome and capital E empires, my buddies!

No one:

Me: How many artworks about the Navier-Stokes equations is too many?

Other innocent people, just looking for pretty prints, maybe some nice animal linocuts…

Me: Let me try to tell you about fluid dynamics and partial differential equations…

I was logged into LEAG when Walter Kiefer made the announcement personally, so that was fun! It was practically 5pm eastern

I’m a coauthor on some that were submitted today and only the in 1700s, which seems low for original submission day?

Donovan I don’t think is on BlueSky, but she makes graphics each time there’s a postage rate change that are fun and readable!

78 cents if it’s less than ~3 oz and flexible! If it’s square or rigid you have to add non machinable surcharge (50 cents or so), which is also besides the point as that tool is crapola

Go see Wake Up Dead Man for shameless Craig era Bond reasons but also the John Dickson Carr references

Sometimes all you need to see is Jeffery Wright and Daniel Craig in a movie together again

Even if they’re political, they’re dead! For a long time! Where’s my Judas Mesa?

Now we gotta name some (more) small bodies after Guelphs and Ghibellines to fully achieve Dante synergy

I’m looking for a post doc! Come join us at ASU! apply.interfolio.com/176300

The title comes from a talk and abstract they most certainly have taken down almost all record of 👀

Wait what I was driving on a pretty basic pun all those years!!??

Also first first-author paper under the new institutional byline!

TL;DR almost any terrain on Ceres doesn’t have a major H contribution from currently hydrated salts, but they could help keep the ice table shallow for longer!

Out now, how salts affect the hydrogen measured from orbit around our main belt icy queen, Ceres.

like yes he’ll snap at you if you break his concentration or you’re doing an important job badly; but one thing I think both Rathbone and Cumberbatch leaned on a little too heavily for my liking in different ways is that he was also sometimes a jerk TO THE CLIENT, and that I think I object to

Article. I can read faster than any YouTuber can speak, even with the playback speed cranked up to comical levels.

THAT SAID, article writers these days need fucking EDITORS they spend whole paragraphs FAFFING ABOUT before they get to the point IT'S CALLED THE INVERTED FUCKING PYRAMID MY DUDES

*spoiler* in the Original The Thing they’re like it’s a plant!! How do we kill it!! And this absolutely badass female character says “well we cook it”. Classic not so secret Gender, I love that twist so much.

Awesome and also consider the OG “The Thing” where 1950s gender politics comes into play! Also it’s less gory for the extra-credit-desiring but body-horror-adverse!

Doing a first year seminar lecture on this plus “what is science?” this week, and figured I could try a little crowd sourcing!
